1. Remove the back cover.

2.Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing down and slide it into the microSDHC card slot.

NOTE: Your phone may come with a pre-installed microSDHC card. Some applications may not function normally after you remove the card, pre-installed or otherwise.

3.Align the back cover with the back of the phone and press the cover back into place. Make sure all the tabs are secure and there are no gaps around the cover.

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on, find a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully charge the battery as soon as possible.

If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As you charge your phone, the screen will tell you the exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.

WARNING! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.

CAUTION: Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE authorized service provider.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

Set a lock screen PIN or password.

Charge the battery.

Keep the phone connected to the charger.

Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1.Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

2.Read the information about encryption carefully.

The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your phone is not plugged in.

If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch the Back Key.

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3.Touch Encrypt phone.

4.Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.

5.Touch Encrypt phone again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your PIN or password.

Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
